We humans are very fond of getting the odd treat now and again, especially when we feel we have been especially good or done something really well. It shouldn't really be a surprise that our pooch pals feel the exact same. With that in mind making a special dog treat for fido should be on our to do list.

Before heading off to your nearest pet supply store to buy a treat for your dog; consider spending a little of your time and making your special puppy a treat made by you at home from one of the many dog treat recipes available.

I have yet to come across any breed of dog that didn't love a treat and even more so when it's home-made. All we need to do is Google "homemade dog cookies," and hundreds of easy to follow suggestions are there to choose from.

It's probably best just to double-check the ingredients from any online dog treat recipe that you decide to use to ensure their is nothing in it that could harm your Pet. I've never had a problem using them but always better to err on the side of caution.

I have loads of doggy treat recipes but without doubt this one is my German Shepherd Alfie's absolute favorite.

Cheesy Dog Cookies - Ingredients:

* One cup rolled oats (something like Quaker) * One third (1/3) cup margarine * One cup water/boiling * Three quarters (3/4) cup corn-meal One * One tablespoon sugar * Two (2) teaspoons beef or chicken stock (instant bouillon) * Milk 1/2 cup * One (1) cup grated/shredded cheddar cheese * One (1) egg, beaten * Two to Three (2 - 3) cups whole wheat flour

Now we have the ingredients, let's get it made.

First of all preheat your oven to 325 degrees. Next step is to Grease the cookie sheets.

Put the rolled oats, margarine and boiling water into a large bowl; leave for approx 10 minutes. Mix in the corn-meal, sugar, bouillon, milk, cheese and egg. Lightly spoon the flour into your measuring cup and level off. Add the flour one cup at a time; make sure that you have mixed it well until it forms a stiff dough. Ensuring the surface has been floured start to knead in the last of the flour until the consistency of the dough is smooth and stickiness is gone. Roll or pat out the mixture until it is approx 1/2 inch thick.

Cut using a bone shaped cookie cutter. Place them on greased cookie sheets about 1 inch apart. Put them into the oven for around 30-45 mins at 325 degrees. When ready the cookies should be a lovely golden brown color.

With homemade dog treat aplenty your favorite canine will be happily chomping for days to come. Are they really better than the dog treats you can buy at the pet supply store? I dunno, let your dog have the final woof!
